Framing ‘fracking’: Exploring public perceptions of hydraulic fracturing in the United Kingdom [PDF]
Public Understanding of Science, 2016 The prospect of fracking in the United Kingdom has been accompanied by significant public unease. We outline how the policy debate is being framed by UK institutional actors, finding evidence of a dominant discourse in which the policy approach is defined through a deficit model of public understanding of science and in which a technical approach to ...
